This week’s letter is J and I have decide it stands for jokes. I picked jokes since it is often hard for people with Asperger’s to understand jokes. I remember when I was younger I often didn’t get jokes and when I finally got them people was either way past that joke or if I was lucky telling another joke, so I could hide that I was slow at understanding them. These days I am making jokes on my own and I understand them better since I have started to be able to read people. I still don’t get them every time but most of them I do. I like jokes as long as they are not hurting people even I sometimes can say jokes which might be hurtful by mistakes because it is often hard for me to read the room. As an example, I walked past a woman with a double pushchair and she walked like her kids was in there even they were not and I felt so fresh and in mood to joke that I looked at her death serious and said “you seem to have forgotten the most important thing” and she looked at me and responded “What?” And I could not stop laughing when answering “Your kids” and she luckily started laughing while replying “ohh I know where they are as I just left them” so it was a good day so sometimes that is how I joke but other times I don’t get the jokes. Asperger’s often only read the words no matter how you serious or how happy you maybe look… it is also why we don’t get irony or sarcasm. So next time you joke maybe make sure people around might not all get it
